Juventus are still concerned about Dusan Vlahovic as the star striker again missed the squad training session at Continassa.

The Bianconeri are gearing up for their Monday evening clash with Udinese, a side who haven’t found a victory in their last five consecutive league games. A strong result is expected following the painful Derby d’Italia defeat to Inter last weekend.

Vlahovic, who was kept quiet in the possibly decisive derby loss, has been in a vein of strong form in recent weeks, scoring seven goals in his last seven league games. His upswing in productivity could help Juventus close the gap to league leaders Inter in the coming months.

Football Italia understands that star striker Vlahovic did not train with his Juventus teammates at Continassa today, carrying out individual exercises. He is still in doubt for the coming game with Udinese after suffering a muscle issue in the loss to Inter.

Fabio Miretti also missed Massimiliano Allegri’s training session, suffering from flu symptoms. He could still recover in time to face the Friulian side on Monday.
